. Well, as a migrant, I would have too much to cover on that topic... or too many stories stored in my thoughts 💭... in December I will have been away from my country for 8 years... from my dreams and my oldest daughter who is still there... When you are forced to give up your place of comfort!! And without options... I would say that your thinking and your way of perceiving the world changes completely... the first 2 years I was completely alone here in Lima and then I was able to bring my partner and my son... and recently a year ago with a lot of effort and sacrifice I was able to bring my parents... unfortunately we sold their house there... and well when you are a migrant you realize that the houses 🏘️ are the least important if you can be with your family..👪 and not be one more of the bunch of people who go abroad for a decade and have never been to visit their family and for a thousand excuses they do not bring them to live with them abroad either... Currently I confess that I have adapted very well... I have learned their vocabulary or their different way of speaking Spanish and I am a salesman by profession... if you ask me if I would like to return to my birthplace? I would say that my children and family are better off here... And I would not change that for anything.
I cannot imagine the amount of pain and suffering you have gone through / are enduring. It made me look at my problems with more light-heartedness. I should count my blessings. I hope that you will be reunited with your eldest daughter one day!
